Is there any chance my lips will get some volume afterwards? How long does Juvederm settle?

Question

I had my fillers done on Saturday and I had 0,5 ml in my lips and 0,5 ml in my chin. The doctor said that a whole 1 ml in my lips wouldn't look natural and she suggested adding some in my chin and fill it. I liked the effect on my lips yesterday, when some swelling occured, but today I can't really see any difference. I have some lumps in them and the doctor will massage them tomorrow. Is there any chance my lips will get some volume afterwards? How long does Juvederm settle?

It can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling after lip injections to resolve and the filler settle in. 0.5ml is really not that much in the lips, and if you liked the way they looked with the swelling then you likely will need more product to get to achieve your goals. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician. Best wishes.

It can take up to two weeks to see your final results from lip fillers.  The lumps should soften during this time and swelling resolve.  It is unlikely that you will see an increase in the volume of the lips however.  You may want to consider additional product since you enjoyed the fuller appearance.

Hello. Thank you for your question. 0.5mL of filler is not going to give you a huge difference in your lips. It will usually just give you a slightly more hydrated look. 1mL of filler is not a significant amount of filler.
